Kernel Mode Set. See your "nomodeset" option on your kernel below. Try
removing it.

You enable it by removing the "nomodeset" option from your kernel in grub.

1) rename it so X doesn't find it and see what happens upon reboot.
(I suggest that you try with "nomodeset" removed from your
kernels options in grub.conf) See what X11 does to configure
itself. If you know you've configured something that your
server needs, you can always add it back in its own file
in /etx/x11/xorg.conf.d later. (to me, your xorg.conf looks
fairly generic, anyways, besides specifying the obvious.)
